I am Canadian and the 'Real Canadian Superstore' will price match, as will Walmart & 'No Frills' & 'FreshCo'. So I make a list and go to Real Canadian and what they pull from their shelves, I go to CDN Walmart (same big plaza).
I also am close enough (15km) from the USA border so got to Aldi's every other week plus Tops & Wegmans, Burlington, Big Lots, Hobby Lobby, Ulta, Sams and Target. Kohls & Trader Joes is a bit away but go there for seasonal stuff.
The best of 2 countries. Aldis as butter on sale this week, and the "Frozen stuff" comes out tomorrow, so I will be there. I will go to Target, Tops and Wegman's and Burlinglinton, Dollar Tree and a few other places to finish off my shoppingl
It is so easy when when the American stores are so close to Canada.
I have a USA Sams Club store club store card and a Canadian Costco store club, so shopping is good!

I really try to shop local, so 3 places. -local grocery store that has reasonable prices, and carries some higher end items I like. -Local butcher-I never ever buy meat from a chain. gross -Target. Mainly for odds and ends, and paper goods.

Costco, Fred Meyer and Winco are our main three. But we will also shop at Whole Foods, QFC and Trader Joe’s.
We will be dropping Fred Meyer from our top three though. They just redesigned the store and we do not like it at all.

Weekly - Walmart and Trader Joe’s Occasionally - Albertsons, Stater Bros, and Sprouts. Once a month or so - Costco
The occasional stores are when I am looking for something specific that WalMart or TJ’s doesn’t carry. Costco is mainly for paper goods and my favorite iced tea.

Lots! I use a website called My Supermarket to price compare specific items that I buy regularly so that I can get the best prices. I shop in Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi. All are within a five minute drive. I also visit Marks and Spencer a couple of times a month, and a couple of discount chains for toiletries and cleaning stuff. I also visit an independent baker and a butcher once a month.

I am ridiculous, and I admit it. Sprouts weekly for the regular produce I need Trader Joes weekly for TJ stuff and the produce I don't get at Sprouts (stuff like the bagged salads, butternut squash bags, etc) Costco twice a month for meats/paper products/dairy/snacks/magazines/clothes/that delicious high point turkey/pesto/cheese ciabatta sandich randomly as needed: Vons or Ralphs for stuff I can't get at the above Valley Produce for fun ethnic produce and spices etc Aldi for fun seasonal stuff and organic foods Smart & Final depending on what they have on sale, plus I like their brand of ziplock bags We are getting an Aldi in my town by early next year and I'm excited, it'll be on my rotation more often I'm exhausted just reading this.

Major grocery shopping? Only one - H-E-B. I don’t have time to trot around to multiple stores every week.
That’s not to say that I never pick up milk or something at Target - but I don’t purposely go there for groceries.

Mostly 1....Publix
During this time of year I frequent the Winter Garden Farmer's Market for produce because it's AWESOME but it's too damned hot in the summer months.

Three, Publix, Walmart and Kroger. Really only because certain things that I use weekly are carried at one but not the others. It's such a pain. I hate getting my shopping done for the week except for the one or two items that are at one of the other stores. I use WM for any non-grocery/food items because their prices are the best. Kroger is the closest and Publix has the best produce and meat and a few items none of the other two have.

My go-to stores include 2 chain stores and Trader Joes. During the summer produce comes from either our garden or the farmer's market.

Normally just one...Stop & Shop. During the holidays I do like to try and get at least one trip to Trader Joe's in for some of their holiday stuff.

The majority is at HEB. Meat/eggs/snacks from Costco Laundry detergent from Walmart because I think they are the only ones that carry Persil. I get one item from Whole Foods I'll occasionally go to Kroger if I only need a few things bc HEB can be a real sh*tshow.

I shop at 6+ my butcher. And usually at least 2-3 in a week.
They are all close to my house.

Pretty much only one- HEB.
I also buy some things from Sam's Club.
If I find myself at Target or Walmart and need a few things I will buy them, but I don't go to either one for groceries. I rarely got to Walmart for anything.

Just three stores for me... Winco, Costco and Grocery Outlet. Occasionally I'll take one of my daughters to Walmart and might pick up a few things while there with her. It's nothing regular though.

I definitely get around, especially when they send out coupons like $10.00 off an order, free delivery, etc.
Publix, Kroger, Aldi, Food Lion, Sam’s, Lidl, Fresh Market, Trader Joe’s...

Mostly Stop and Shop and the local butcher shop. Depending on convenience, I might go to Market Basket or Costco, too.

We have a small store in town and another in the town 10 mins away. Then when I go to the city and hour away a 1-3 times a month at Costco sometimes, less frequently Superstore.

95% of my shopping is at Winco (once a week, sometimes twice), unless I don't want to deal with a huge store and only need a few things then I'll go to Safeway, or if I'm going to the library I'll go to Fred Meyer because they share a parking lot.

I shop for money savings and also some store specific favorites.
Monthly - Aldi, Costco and Walmart Weekly - Tom Thumb, Sprouts or Target (rarely all three - just depends on sales) Less frequently - Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers - edited to add Central Market - best tortillas!
I realize that it's kind of ridiculous. If there was a Winco closer I would fit that in too lol.

When I had a family, I shopped at at least 2 different per week. Now that it's just me, I mainly shop at our local store, Metropolitian Market. Produce is always 10+ and their deli selection/in-store prepared foods are great too. I'll stop by QFC (Kroger owned) about once a month. Trader Joe's (even though it's within walking distance) less often than that, my location has lousy produce. I have virtually stopped shopping at Whole Foods since their produce has gone downhill since Amazon purchased it. I love metro mart!

I usually just shop sales. Fresh Friday at yokes. Fred Meyer sales when we get gas. They have 99 cent milk once a month. Winco for veggies. They will have sweet potatoes for 40 cents a pound. I buy a lot of sweet potatoes.
I would love to shop at fiesta foods but it is getting scary there.
Walmart for toilet paper, cleaning stuff and cat food. They are the only one that carries friskies indoor chicken pate. The only food my old cat will eat. I will buy bacon there but rarely any other food. It is substandard.

I don’t go around to different stores each week, but one week I might go to our local co-op or grocery store (Metropolitan Market), the next to a chain grocery (QFC), then Costco. If one store doesn’t have what I want/need I’ll just make do or change my menu. I occasionally shop Trader Joe’s, but never Walmart and we don’t have an Aldi’s so I don’t know if I would shop there.

Four, sometimes five- Kroger, Target, Walmart, Costco and/or Amazon Fresh. Io depends on where I will be, what I’ll be doing, or if one of those places doesn’t have what I’m looking for, but I only shop one place at a time, usually. We don’t get a lot of things at Costco. It’s not a place we go for our main shopping.
